This is a commercial where Hoikenta performs a parody of “HIGH PRESSURE” to introduce The Premium Malt’s packaging that looks like a heart when the cans are lined up.

Speaking of the combination of “HIGH PRESSURE” and Hoikenta, the famous phrase is “karada guu~,” but in this CM he sings “heart guu~.” Since the heart is completed by placing two cans side by side, the ad depicts two people who had been at odds making up—comical yet happy in tone.

This is the much-talked-about commercial for Midori, created through a collaboration between suis, the vocalist of Yorushika, and Tsubasa Yamaguchi, the author of the manga Blue Period.

The CM features a lavish production in which an animated video based on illustrations drawn by Yamaguchi is set to a self-cover of Haru performed by suis specifically for this commercial.

The visuals, centered on jade green—the signature color of Midori—are refreshing and captivating, and the special arrangement of Haru for this CM has a gentle tone that makes you want to listen to the entire track.

If you spent your youth in the 1990s and listened to both rock and techno, just seeing the term “big beat” probably makes you squint with nostalgia.

Fatboy Slim—Norman Cook’s solo project and practically synonymous with big beat, which fuses band-like elements with sample-based looping electronic music—has had his classic track “YA MAMA” chosen for the commercial song of THE STRONG Natural Sparkling Water.

With its garage-style guitar riff, repeating vocals, and dynamic beat, it’s a splashy, badass, feel-good upper tune.

Younger listeners might have heard it in the ad and gotten curious, too.

It’s included on Fatboy Slim’s 2001 album “Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars,” so be sure to check it out!

A commercial for Suntory Natural Mineral Water Sparkling Lemon featuring Hikaru Utada herself, who also created the theme song.

Watching Utada effortlessly pedal a bicycle through the streets of a European rural town to a snappy tune gives a refreshing feeling that perfectly matches Sparkling Lemon.

The song used in the commercial, “Play A Love Song,” is also included on the 2018 album “Hatsukoi.”

Suntory Green Tea Iyemon: 'The Tea’s Melody in Your Heart' Edition

Kiss Me PatissierCANDY TUNE

It’s a commercial where the members of CANDY TUNE wear outfits with a traditional Japanese flair and perform a dance, conveying the gentle flavor of Iyemon from there.

The overall impression, including their smiles, is soft, expressing how Iyemon has a calming taste.

The song featured in the footage is CANDY TUNE’s “Kiss Me Patissier,” with the lyrics arranged in classical Japanese.

By changing “patissier,” which comes from Western culture, into a more Japanese expression, the ad creates a touch of comedy, small sense of dissonance included.

Thanks to the members’ smooth vocals, it almost feels like the lyrics were written that way from the start.

Suntory Draft Beer “Nama-Hige (Live Beard)” Version

Like the flow of a riverKiyosaku

Titled “Nama-Hige” (Foam Mustache), this Suntory Draft Beer commercial is striking for the way the cast savor their beer and is also charming for its humorous direction.

“Nama-hige” refers to the foam that sticks around your mouth when you drink draft beer, and the performers are all sporting splendid foam mustaches! The BGM is ‘Like the Flow of the River.’ The original is by Hibari Misora, but this CM uses the familiar version sung by Kiyosaku.
